#43 – Alan Bauman, M.D.: The science of male and female hair restoration – how to protect, enhance, and restore the appearance and health of the hair and scalp

“When [a patient] looks in the mirror and sees that hairline growing back in and says, ‘I would never have thought I would see my hairline again. I never thought I’d cover that bald spot.’ I mean, that’s the exciting thing that keeps me going every day.” —Alan Bauman MD

In this episode, Alan Bauman, MD, ABHRS-certified hair transplantation surgeon, and hair restoration expert, discusses both male and female pattern hair loss, the science behind what drives it, and what that tells us about prevention and restoration. Having treated over 20,000 patients, Alan shares his invaluable insights into what works and what doesn’t in terms of the non-surgical treatment options from compounded prescriptions like 82M minoxidil, FinPlus finasteride, laser therapy, cell therapy, etc. We also go into great detail about the more invasive approaches like PRP, and of course, hair transplantation, a procedure which Alan has refined over the years into a proprietary method that seems to produce unbelievable results. Additionally, Alan provides tips for maintaining scalp health, which is vital for hair growth, as well as the importance of choosing a hair specialist who has the tools, expertise, and patience to develop a compassionate and encompassing approach to hair restoration.

 

We discuss:

  • Alan’s unique path, and how he became interested in hair transplantation [7:15];
  • The prevalence of hair loss, types of hair loss, and the different patterns in men vs. women [15:45];
  • The role of genetics in hair loss, and when does it start [19:00];
  • Female hair loss: the role of hormones, pregnancy-related hair loss, and what it means to have thinning and shedding [22:30];
  • Primary drivers of male hair loss, finasteride as a treatment, and the potential side effects [26:15];
  • Common treatments – Proscar, Propecia, Rogaine, and more – how they all came about and what you need to know [29:45];
  • Primary drivers of female hair loss, potential treatments, and the different types of hair follicles [33:15];
  • What are some of the unproven/snake oil methods of hair treatments being pushed to the public? [37:15];
  • Preventative steps to take if you’re worried about future hair loss [42:00];
  • Medications that may negatively affect hair quality [45:30];
  • The importance of seeing a hair specialist [47:15];
  • Impact of scalp health and inflammation on hair growth, how to pick and apply shampoo and conditioner, and how to avoid and treat hair breakage [50:15];
  • Treatment options – finasteride, minoxidil, laser caps – how they work and what you need to know [57:15];
  • PRP treatment: How it works, details of the procedure, and Alan’s proprietary protocol [1:11:45];
  • The hair transplant procedure [1:29:30];
  • Risks involved with a hair transplant procedure [1:44:00];
  • Is a donor hair susceptible to the forces of the implant site that caused the hair loss? Can a hair follicle grow anywhere on the body? [1:47:45];
  • Age appropriate procedures, how far the field has come, and why Alan loves his work [1:51:45]; and
  • More.

Confidence Comes Naturally

APPROXIMATELY 80 MILLION MEN AND WOMEN IN THE U.S. SUFFER FROM SOME DEGREE OF HAIR-LOSS. HOWEVER, THANKS TO YEARS OF RESEARCH AND TRIALS, HAIR LOSS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE INEVITABLE, IT’S OPTIONAL!

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month, so let’s shift the focus to what the treatment process looks like:

Think mag cover-drb.001

DOCTOR – Only a qualified and experienced hair restoration physician can prescribe the most effective multi-therapy treatment options, as well as properly track the regrowth progress. Before choosing a physician/surgeon, do your homework: check the doctor’s medical background and qualifications, visit the clinic, read online patient reviews, ask to see before-and-after photographs, and ask questions. A good surgeon will need both technical skill and artistry in order to achieve the most natural looking results for the patient.

DIAGNOSIS – Once you’ve found a doctor, he or she will help you identify risk factors and assess where you are in the hair loss process. Missing the early warning signs of hair loss is one of the biggest mistakes both men and women make when it comes to protecting the health of their hair. New genetic tests, like HairDX, can accurately determine a person’s risk for losing hair, enabling that person to begin preventative treatments early on, when they will be most effective.

Think Magazine | August | DrAlanBauman - Hair Restoration_articleTREATMENT OPTIONS  In many cases, the best strategy in treating hair loss is to use a multi-therapy approach with routine follow-ups for tracking both hair loss and regrowth. Medical treatments that will help mitigate hair loss include a specially compounded prescription minoxidil solution, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), prostaglandin analogs, low-level laser therapy, and nutritional supplements. In advanced cases, hair transplantation may be the patient’s best strategy for treating hair loss. New microsurgical “no-scalpel/ no-stitch” harvesting techniques like SmartGraft FUE, NeoGraft FUE or ARTAS Robotic System allow for a minimally invasive “follicle-by-follicle” approach, which eliminates the risk of a linear scar.

MAKE THE COMMITMENT – It is important to keep in mind that it may take more than a year before you will see the full benefits of treatment. Unfortunately, this is often longer than many patients are willing to wait; so many end their treatment early, disrupting any progress that had been made. Hair restoration physicians typically schedule follow-up appointments with their patients every 90 days in order to evaluate their progress, adjust the course of treatment, and measure the rate of hair regrowth. These regular check-ups help to ensure that patients are getting the most out of their treatment plans and are on their way to achieving optimal results.

Revolutionary Technology Restores Hairlines For Men And Women

Boca Raton, Florida – May 2, 2018 --  Internationally Renowned Hair Transplant Surgeon Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD brings SmartGraft®, a minimally invasive and permanent hair restoration treatment for both men and women, to his state of the art practice in Boca Raton, Florida which serves Miami, Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and beyond.

IMG_1089 2-bauman-smartgraft_2016Dr. Bauman is one of only 200 physicians globally to achieve certification from the American and International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), be an accepted member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) and also recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. In addition, he has attained the coveted Fellow status within the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (FISHRS).

Hair is Dr. Bauman’s passion; he is an Advisory Board Member for the World Trichology Society and is also the author of numerous articles and textbook chapters on the science of hair care and hair transplantation, including eyelash transplant surgery. He is a successful early-adopter and pioneer of some of the most advanced technologies in the effective treatment of hair loss including no-linear-scar FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction, which is why SmartGraft appealed to Dr. Bauman.

As an FUE hair transplant pioneer who has used numerous manual, mechanical and robotic devices over more than 15 years and after extensive internal device testing and research, I can say with great confidence that SmartGraft is a dramatic improvement over previous manual mechanical FUE tools currently on the market,” states Dr. Bauman. “Innovations like the unique closed, climate-controlled internal graft storage and hydration system, programmable microprocessor control, and on-board LED lighting system on the handpiece are improving accuracy, efficiency and, most importantly, our patients’ results.” He details that minimally invasive FUE harvesting of individual follicular units for transplantation with SmartGraft allows patients a faster, more comfortable, less restricted recovery phase compared to old-style linear “strip” harvesting.

[See Dr. Bauman's SmartGraft Results]

Since no wide-shave of the donor area is required, handheld FUE devices such as SmartGraft empower Dr. Bauman and his team to execute traditional transplants for male pattern hair loss, as well as specialty transplants like female hairline lowering, female pattern hair loss, female temple restoration, eyebrow transplantation, beard and body hair harvesting, as well as smaller “no shave” FUE procedures from the scalp for male and female hair loss patients. “With SmartGraft, all patients maintain the benefits of leaving behind absolutely NO telltale linear scar,” adds Dr. Bauman.

SmartGraft makes hair replacement a more accessible, effective and realistic option than ever before for both men and women with hair loss, delivering natural-looking outcomes with little downtime. When expertly performed, the treatment is quick, comfortable and permanent.

About FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is the least invasive hair transplant graft harvesting technique that leaves absolutely NO telltale linear scar in the donor area and with a more comfortable and less restricted recovery than traditional “Strip Harvest” techniques. Grafts as small as a single hair can be harvested from the Donor Area and when implanted with artistry and precision by an expert surgeon, create an undetectably natural restoration of living and growing hair.

Vision Medical, Inc. is a leading USA manufacturer that develops and markets medical and aesthetic technology products for the medical and aesthetic markets for worldwide distribution. Vision Medical’s first commercial product, the SmartGraft® Hair Restoration System, uses minimally-invasive vacuum assisted FUE technology for men and women.

What is SmartGraft FUE hair transplant?

SmartGraft FUE BaumanMedicalWhat is SmartGraft device for FUE hair transplantation?

SmartGraft™ is the fastest, most advanced hand-held device for minimally-invasive FUE Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant procedures we have ever used at Bauman Medical, allowing for the individual harvesting of follicular unit grafts directly from the Donor Area of the scalp without leaving a linear scar or “zipper” appearance. Shorter FUE procedure times means reduced risks of graft failure and poor growth quality, as well as enhanced patient comfort. SmartGraft, by Vision Medical, also has a complete microprocessor controlled graft extraction and storage system which reduces the risk of damage to the fragile FUE grafts. 

Many, including North America's #1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon (Aesthetic Everything), Dr. Alan J. Bauman MD, believe that SmartGraft is simply a better or maybe “smarter!” way to perform a hair transplant. SmartGraft is a breakthrough device that helps hair transplant surgeons and their specialized teams perform FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplantation. Less invasive than traditional linear "strip" harvesting, Follicular Unit Extraction uses no scalpel, no stitches, no staples in the donor area--allowing for faster healing and less discomfort after transplantation.

What is FUE Follicular Unit Extraction?

Hair transplantation is the redistribution of permanent, living and growing hair follicles from the “Donor” Area into a thinning or balding “Recipient” area of the scalp. FUE is a harvesting technique which is less invasive than traditional strip or linear harvesting which requires no scalpel or stitches in the Donor Area. Recovery from FUE procedures is more comfortable and less restrictive than with linear or strip harvesting. The vast majority of patients require absolutely NO strong pain medications during their recovery and can return to non-impact athletic physical activity in just several days.

Dating back prior to 2002, renowned hair loss expert and ABHRS-certified Hair Restoration Surgeon, Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS was amongst a handful of surgeons worldwide who helped develop instruments for, as well as pioneer, research, teach and train doctors on the minimally-invasive techniques of FUE. Dr. Bauman was the very first board-certified hair transplant surgeon in North America to routinely use Neograft, a motorized hair transplant system for no-linear-scar hair follicle harvesting, starting in 2007. He was also one of the first physicians to use the FDA-approved ARTAS robotic-assisted FUE system. Since 2002, Dr. Bauman and his surgical team have transplanted more than 2,500,000 follicular units using the FUE technique–making Dr. Bauman one of the most experienced FUE surgeons in the world. FUE is the least invasive hair transplant procedure and leaves absolutely NO linear scar. It has less downtime and less discomfort than traditional “linear” or “strip-harvest” procedures.

Will SmartGraft FUE Hair Transplant Look Natural?

The final naturalness and undetectability of a hair transplant relies primarily on the minimally-invasive FUE harvesting method of grafts as small as a single follicle and the artistic ability of the surgeon who creates the sites where the follicles will be implanted. Your surgeon must understand the bounds of naturalness of the hairline design, as well as the relationship of each and every angle, orientation and position of the transplanted hair so that the end result looks natural, and not transplanted. Dr. Bauman is renowned for his artistic approach to hairline design and meticulous execution in his hair transplant procedures.
